Before You Build, Get the Architecture Right.

Independent, vendor-neutral cloud strategy for engineering leaders who need clarity before committing budget. We assess your current state, design the target architecture, build the roadmap, and hand you a plan your team can execute. We advise. You decide.

For CTOs and VPs Engineering evaluating cloud migrations, re-architectures, or technology bets who need senior-level guidance without a sales pitch.

The Problem We Solve

⚠ You need to modernize but can't tell if the vendor proposal makes technical sense or is just upselling.

⚠ Your team is debating 3 different architecture approaches and nobody has the seniority to make the call.

⚠ The board wants a cloud strategy and cost model but your engineers are too busy shipping to produce one.

⚠ You had a failed migration last year and need an independent review before trying again.

⚠ Your AWS/Azure/GCP bill is growing 40% year-over-year but nobody knows which workloads are driving it.

What's Included

✓ Current state assessment: architecture review, infrastructure audit, cost analysis, security posture

✓ Target architecture design: diagrams, technology decisions with trade-off documentation, migration approach recommendation

✓ Cloud provider evaluation: AWS vs GCP vs Azure analysis for your specific workloads, data residency, and team skills

✓ Well-Architected review: formal review against AWS/GCP/Azure Well-Architected frameworks with prioritized findings

✓ Migration roadmap: phased plan with dependencies, risk assessment, effort estimates, and quick wins

✓ TCO and ROI modeling: total cost of ownership projections, build vs buy analysis, reserved instance strategy

✓ Technology selection: Kubernetes vs ECS, Terraform vs Pulumi, GitOps vs traditional CI/CD, with honest recommendations

✓ Executive-ready deliverables: architecture decision records, roadmap deck for leadership, and a backlog your team can start executing

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you also build what you recommend?

Yes, but separately. The strategy engagement is self-contained. You get a complete plan and can execute it with your team, with us, or with another partner. No lock-in.

How is this different from a vendor's free assessment?

Cloud vendors assess your workloads to sell their platform. We assess your workloads to find the right answer, which might be staying on-prem, going multi-cloud, or choosing a different vendor than expected. We have no reseller agreements.

What do we actually get at the end?

A written deliverable with target architecture diagrams, technology decision records with trade-offs, a phased migration roadmap, cost projections, and a prioritized backlog. Ready for your team to execute.

How long does a strategy engagement take?

Typically 2-4 weeks from kickoff to final deliverable. The discovery workshop is free and takes 2 hours.

Can you present the findings to our board?

Yes. We prepare executive-ready materials and can present directly to your leadership team, board, or investors. We speak both engineering and business.
